Under the motto "Zittau in motion", the historic city centre was transformed into a celebration and feast mile at the weekend with a varied, multi-generational and colorful cultural program, action and sales stands as well as hands-on activities. In the Klosterplatz area, we offered a mini orienteering run alongside the triathletes from O-SEE Sports e.V. and the climbers from the German Alpine Club (Zittau section).
After a rainy start to the festival on Friday evening, we set up our Mini-Orienteering on Saturday morning. We used an individually adapted form of Go4-Orienteering, which was equipped with additional color markings for the younger kids and beginners. The sun came out just in time for the opening of the festival. Over the course of Saturday and Sunday, we were able to welcome a mixed crowd of young and old. Many participants ran several laps or came back from time to time and brought friends and acquaintances with them.
We were delighted to see the energy and enthusiasm with which the various courses were run. Even the Zittauer Gelbe came by for an orienteering run.
Interesting discussions with local players, school representatives and festival visitors from near and far rounded off a successful event for us. Of course, we also took the time to look around and try out other activities. You can find more impressions of the orienteering race at the Zittau town festival on social media.
